So now there are two in the clown car! Awesome.

Are you old enough to have been paying attention during the '12 campaign? Clown car is a good way to describe it. Their "debates" consisted of jerk offs like Wolf Blitzer or whoever else asking for shows of hands for such hard hitting questions as, "Who believes in evolution?" It was a farce. No, an abomination of democracy that the once proud organization that is the GOP was reduced to agreeing or disagreeing with statements of basic fact (which they all obligingly disagreed with in turn, no matter the fact in question). GOP has always been evil (at least its Postwar incarnation), but at least it used to be on the side of dour realism. Sadly, this election is going to top the last for biggest political freak show of my life.

I was interested enough to see how ridiculous the Republican campaigns were, yes. This cycle I've decided merely to be amused by radical right-wingers, at least until one of them shows signs of being, y'know, a legitimate candidate.
